Need Help!!! Doing a Powerpoint Presentation on Gravity and I have no idea!!!!

[urbantechie]

Ok guys. I need this done by tonight and 3pgs is the max. I just need some input on it. Should I supply a Dictionary Definition of Gravity or have the whole thing in my own words?

 

[Soybomb]

3 pages?
Give teh formal defination from a science book on page one with some picture of something falling maybe

On page two explain why with like a picture of the eath orbiting or something.....

and then on page 3 maybe briefly show the reasoning behind figuring the pull of gravity on the earth, the moon, and maybe a couple other planets?

Gravity: The reason, along with lack of interest and intelligent content, that threads (usually mine) go to the bottom of the list.

You need to be a bit more specific-what's the target audience, do you intend to use up a page or 2 with examples, etc? For now, I'd suggest getting your own definition in there, since the project is supposed to be short, it wouldn't look too good if 1/3 of the content is a dictionary definition.

Well, I want the max is to be 3pgs. The assignment is to make like a advertisment selling Newton's theory of Gravity. I don't wanna go into full Physics since this is just a 10th grd World History Class .

 

Yo' mama's got gravity. OW!

 

[urbantechie]

Can someone get some animations for me . I might capture some footage I have of me and some freinds jumping off some crazy sh!t.

...Brahe's precise, non-telescopic observations of planetary motions over time, Kepler's mathematical reductions of Kepler's observations (planetary orbits are ellipses, planets sweep equal areas over equal time intervals, and orbital geometry and orbital period are directly related), and Newton's invention of the Calculus to streamline the arithmetical summations of the areas of near-infinite, imaginary triangles contained within ellipses and the consequent revelations of the direct relationships between force and momentum & inertia, acceleration and force & mass, and force and reaction to force.

Also: Newtonian gravitational force as matter attracting matter vs. Einstinian gravitational force as response of matter to geometry of space-time through which it moves.

Props: youreslf, a big fellow student, a small fellow student, a skateboard.

1st Law: In motion, stay in motion; at rest, stay at rest.

Stand on skate board. If no one pushes, you don't move. If you are oushed, you move until some outside force -- like friction -- slows you to a stop.

2nd Law: Acceleration = Force/mass.

Big student stands on skateboard. Push. See how fast and far he/she travels. Small student stands on skateboard. Push. See how much faster, farther small student travels.

3rd Law: Action and opposite reaction.

Stand on skateboard. Push against small student standing on floor in front of you. Small student moves backward, so do you (in opposite direction).

Bring a floppy to class labeled report. Drop it. You should get an A for it.

 

[andylawcc]

drop the School's monitor on the floor, and say,
"Gravity At Work"

 

[yakko]

andylawcc,

That would be gravity at school. If I did that here it would be gravity at work.

 

[urbantechie]

UG. I shoudl of done that, I have lots of footage of me doing pretty boned out ollies off gaps but PPT is being a bitch and won't play them!

 

[urbantechie]

Is there a quote of some sort of what Newton said about Gravity?

UG, crazy Website you have there!!!!!
